2 Massage Therapists and a Microphone

Patty from the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB) joined us on the tradeshow floor at the American Massage Conference (AMC) to educate us about the IMpact which is a legislative effort to create an interstate compact which could reduce barriers for therapists practicing across licensed states. This has potential to improve portability and the profession as a whole. Listen to Patty discuss what this initiative is, how it will work, how it’s going, and why it is so important.

Jonny is a LMT from New York and the owner of @brooklynbodymechanic. He looks like a rough, tough man’s man and at first glance, with his branding matching the look. He was introduced to us by our most aired guest, Nicki, as they used the same coach and speak the same language. Through our conversation with Jonny, many layers were removed and we learned that aside from being the Brooklyn Body mechanic, he’s also an evidence based practitioner, a mindset coach, a trans-friendly therapist, an ex-military man who left a super high rank, and overall cool person that is striving to make the massage world a better place.
